Bar Beach Surf Guide

Depending on the sand build up, Bar Beach can see some good peaks. Expect solid local crowds when it is half decent. A rock reef provides a base for sand build up that can deliver running lefts in a northeast swell and northwest winds. Bar Beach doesn't often hold size as well as nearby Dixon Park, but it can pack some punch.
